Fart. Without the big man who was always chattering, not letting him do it on the left side, not letting him do it on the right, and always holding a little baby girl like a nurse, Xue Changfeng felt that his life was much better.

Although Youzhou City is the capital of Hebei, the whole city is shabby from the inside out, even if it is the Youzhou disposal of the Yamen in the city, it also looks gray, far less than the county government of Wannian County.

There is only one mansion that is different, although the entire mansion is made of blue bricks, but you can see a trace of the shadow of Chang'an's new architecture from the cornices and flower windows, which shows that this family is still somewhat involved in Chang'an.

Xue Changfeng walked around the Wang family's mansion and found that the protection of this family's high-strength fortress was extremely tight, and if he wanted to break through here, he needed at least an army to come over with gunpowder.

Originally, I thought that I would complete the task arranged by Yin Erhu alone, but it seemed that it was already an impossible thing.

So, Xue Changfeng came to an inn called Tongfu as instructed when he was separated from Yin Erhu, and handed a sealed letter to the shopkeeper with a smile on his face.

The shopkeeper's face did not change and took Xue Changfeng into the No. 1 guest room.

Seeing that the shopkeeper who always bent his waist turned into a good man, Xue Changfeng didn't feel strange, this kind of guy with an obvious military temperament, he had seen a lot in Luoyang and Chang'an.

The shopkeeper opened the letter in front of him, then threw away the letter inside, lit the candle and baked the envelope, and then the words 'capture the king' appeared on the envelope.

The shopkeeper baked the fire paint on the envelope with fire, and a thin slice of a pure white silver production city appeared in front of the two of them, under Xue Changfeng's curious gaze, the shopkeeper inserted a small silver flake into a jade pendant, held the jade pendant and looked at the light, and then put away the jade pendant and said: "Your Excellency is nineteen days late." ”

Xue Changfeng said: "There was a delay on the way. ”

The shopkeeper said: "This time you have the power to make decisions on the spot, so you won't pursue it, and you won't want it next time." ”

Xue Changfeng said: "I am the Lord, you should listen to me." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Xue Changfeng and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the token you brought was real, you would have died a long time ago, I really doubt that you are not an inspector sent by the Lord himself." ”

Xue Changfeng looked left and right, didn't see a chair in the room, just sat on the bed and said, "I'm just an inspector?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "You are meddling in the affairs in Youzhou?" ”

Xue Changfeng scratched his ears and smiled: "It seems that I am not qualified to know your name, right?" ”

The way of the treasurer; "Do you believe me?"

Xue Changfeng shook his head honestly and said, "I don't believe it." ”

The shopkeeper said: "The plan to capture the king will be implemented in three days, you just need to watch." ”

Xue Changfeng said: "The Wang family's mansion is so big, how are you going to get in?" ”

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "The pig raised by the family is now fat, is it difficult to kill him?" ”

"Your own pigs?" Xue Changfeng looked at the shopkeeper with playful eyes.

The shopkeeper only gave him a grim smile and left.

Xue Changfeng got up and began to look at this Zen-like house, the furnishings inside were very simple, two futons, a low table, a wooden bed, and an oil lamp.

Xue Changfeng simply fell on the bed, his hands behind his head to think about the purpose of coming to Youzhou.

Erhu said that a long time ago, the Tang Dynasty marched east to Goguryeo, and there was a family of three brothers surnamed Wang, who specially collected slaves and handed them over to the army as slave soldiers, and every time they lost a slave soldier, after the Tang army captured the enemy's city, the Wang brothers could select three slaves from the city to take away.

Although the slave soldiers of the Wang brothers died a lot, because the Tang army was invincible, the Wang brothers gained more benefits, and after the Eastern Expedition army wiped out the three kingdoms of Liaodong, the three brothers of the Wang family also made a lot of money.

He was also allowed to live in Chang'an because of his meritorious service in supplying slave soldiers to the Tang Army.

Originally, if the three Wang brothers had buried themselves in doing some business in Chang'an and changed their lives again, they would have been able to live happily in Chang'an.

Who knows, after living in Chang'an for two years, these three brothers secretly ran back to Hebei and continued to run the old business of slave trade.

Moreover, according to various clues, the three brothers of the Wang family have betrayed the lord, colluded with the remnants of Silla, and in the name of selling Silla maids, they openly and secretly sent a lot of problematic Silla maids to the big families of the Tang Dynasty.

Some of these Silla maids have become the favorites of many nobles, among which there are as many as three generals of the former Eastern Crusade who died at the hands of these Silla maids, and the most miserable is the Yangwei general Lu Qian, whose family of 39 died of poisoning.

So, the lord ordered to completely eradicate the three Wang brothers, and by the way, asked the whereabouts and number of the maids and slaves who had been placed in the families of the Tang nobles over the years.

Therefore, the name of this operation is called: Capture the King.

For Xue Changfeng, this task is only a piggyback task, and he only has the right to supervise, not the right to command.

According to Yin Erhu, the lord seems to pay more attention to Chang'an, and the movements of the nobles of Luoyang in Hebei Province.

Thinking of this, Xue Changfeng already knew one thing, he might be able to know something about the Lord from this mission to capture the king.

Xue Changfeng had a lot of guesses about this master, and every guess was proved wrong in the end, which made Xue Changfeng, who was self-conscious, have a strong sense of failure.

Although Yin Erhu once told him that if he hadn't been a wild man in the place where the wild man lived in Danzhou for five years, he would be qualified to meet the Lord.

Although it should be the most convenient and fastest way to find out who the master is through Yin Erhu, Xue Changfeng is not very willing to do this, because it will affect Yin Erhu.

Before he knew who the lord was, Xue Changfeng didn't dare to gamble with the lives of Yin Erhu's family, in case the lord was ruthless, Yin Erhu's family would die.

Judging from the Lord's methods of dealing with Helan Minzhi, the Lord is a demon who is accustomed to playing with people's hearts.

However, judging from Yin Erhu's performance, the Lord seems to be a benevolent person who is extremely sympathetic to his subordinates.

These two feelings were intertwined, so that Xue Changfeng could not set up a specific image of this mysterious lord in his heart.

This time, Xue Changfeng felt that he was the closest to this mysterious lord, and this lord must also be a certain general of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and a general who must be involved with the three Wang brothers.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Xue Changfeng did not leave the inn, and did not even eat, so he went to bed early, and early tomorrow morning, he wanted to go to the sturdy Wang mansion again to have a look.

Although the local companions in Youzhou looked arrogant, Xue Changfeng still wanted to measure through his own eyes how difficult it was to break through this Wang family's mansion.

In June, the heat in Youzhou City was unbearable, and the sun just came out, Xue Changfeng felt that he couldn't wear a robe, so he changed into a short coat worn by Hu Cai, and came to the vicinity of the Wang family's mansion again.

I found a stall selling Hu cakes, lost five dollars and asked for a Hu cake with haggis, this thing is bought by many people in Chang'an, it is a feature of Chang'an, I didn't expect to meet it in Youzhou.

The peddler was very good, the freshly baked Hu Biscuit was crispy, the offal was enough, and he was given an extra sheep's eyeball.

Xue Changfeng was eating Hu cakes, while pretending to pass by the Wang gate inadvertently, at this moment, the Wang gate was wide open, and a middle-aged fat man who seemed to be honest came out of the gate, and then, a young man dressed as a young scholar in blue was enthusiastically sent out, Xue Changfeng inadvertently glanced at the young man in blue, and was stunned, this young man he knew, it was Su Xiang, the third son of Su Lie, the Duke of Xingguo of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Changfeng felt that there seemed to be a sound in his head, so he chewed a cake and pretended to pass by the door as if nothing had happened.

Su Xiang was in a hurry, jumped on a horse, and left the Wang family's mansion surrounded by the guards, and the smiles on the faces of the three similar-looking Wang brothers who were specially sent to Su Xiang immediately disappeared, replaced by a sad look on their faces.

The walls of the Wang family's mansion are very high, only the height of a restaurant on the left seems to exceed the wall, and Xue Changfeng came to the ninth floor that had just opened to welcome guests.

Before he was about to enter, he was scolded by the two black-haired Kunlun slaves guarding the door of the restaurant in proficient Chang'an official dialect.

Xue Changfeng couldn't understand why there was such a magical thing as Kunlun slave in such a remote place in Youzhou, even in Chang'an Kunlun slave is actually rare, only some wealthy noble families will have this thing, not to mention two Kunlun slaves who can speak fluent Chang'an official dialect, it is obvious that these are Kunlun slaves born from two families.

However, this kind of Kunlun slave doesn't look at the long hands and legs, in fact, it is just a kind of goods, Xue Changfeng feels that he is a son of the Han family, and it is really not a tolerable thing to be scolded by Kunlun slaves in his own land.

So, he got up and smashed it on the nose of a Kunlun slave who was holding a mouthful of white teeth and continued to scold him, this punch was very heavy, Xue Changfeng saw that Kunlun Nu's nose was smashed flat by himself, and the Kunlun slave's nose bleeded, and tears flowed together, but only in the mouth of this Kunlun slave, he continued to spit out extremely vicious scolding.

Xue Changfeng was furious, and smashed another Kunlun slave who scolded people like an old cow farting, and the result was still very cool, but the only bad thing was that these two guys didn't fight back when they were beaten, but those two mouths kept scolding.

The furious Xue Changfeng's fist smashed into the bodies of the two Kunlun slaves like raindrops, and in a moment, the two Kunlun slaves were knocked to the ground, and they were about to run out of breath.

Even so, the two Kunlun slaves still had the strength to scold Xue Changfeng with the most vicious words, Xue Changfeng heard it clearly, and one of the guys was greeting his old mother in his mouth.

Xue Changfeng suddenly became angry, but looked up at the second floor of the restaurant, and sure enough, there were a few noble sons standing at the entrance of the building shaking folding fans and laughing and watching the excitement.

One of the young men in pink dressed in flowers pointed at Xue Changfeng with a fan and said, "Fight, why don't you fight, he just greeted your mother, this, can you bear it?" ”
